The main focus for the Connecticut HIV Planning Consortium (CHPC) in 2022 will be the development of the state's 2022-2026 Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Plan.
The CHPC will take a syndemic approach to developing the new Plan. A syndemic is a set of 2 or more overlapping epidemics connected by behaviors and conditions impacting the same people and the communities in which they live. Connecticut’s syndemic focuses on 4 epidemics: HIV; Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI); Substance Use Disorder (SUD); and Viral Hepatitis (VH).
Please visit the Connecticut Ending the Syndemic (ETS) Initiative website for more information. The goal of Connecticut’s ETS Initiative is for all people living with HIV, VH, STIs, and SUD to have access to the prevention and care services that they need.
On October 19, the CHPC will host its annual "Voice of the People" panel discussion from 9:10 am to 10:45 am. This discussion is always one of the highlights on the year, as we get to hear the stories of the people impacted by the work of the CHPC and its partners.
We are recruiting panelists to share their experiences with HIV, Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Infections, and/or Substance Use Disorder. If you or someone you know may be interested, please share this opportunity with them!
